I’m currently working as Clinical Associate Psychologist at CDAT (Complex, Depression, Anxiety and Trauma Team) within the same NHS Trust (Camden and Islington) and I’m working as a therapist, specialising mostly in ACT and SCM. I have studied Psychology as my undergrad degree and then studied Clinical Neuropsychiatry at Kings Collage and Clinical Associate Psychology at UCL. I’m still very passionate about Equine Assisted Therapy, and used to volunteer and work in the field for 5 years. Currently, I’m working full time for NHS, so I don’t have time anymore to be involved in the Equine Assisted Charity I used to work for in the past, but I’m hoping to motive the NHS services to get interested in Equine Assisted Therapy due to its benefits and possibly include it in their range of treatments in the future.
